A POND FULL OF MILK
Once there was a king who told some of his workers to
dig a pond. Once the pond was dug, the king made an announcement to his people
saying that one person from each household has to bring a glass of milk during
the night and pour it into the pond. So, the pond should be full of milk by the
morning. After receiving the order, everyone went home.
One man prepared to take the milk during the night. He
thought that since everyone will bring milk, he could just hide a glass of
water and pour inside the pond. Because it will be dark at night, no one will
notice. So he quickly went and poured the water in the pond and came back. In
the morning, the king came to visit the pond and to his surprise the pond was
only filled with water! What has happened is that everyone was thinking like
the other man that "I don't have to put the milk, someone else will do
it."
Dear friends, when it comes to help the Religion of
Allah, do not think that others will take care of it. Rather, it starts from
you, if you don't do it, no one else will do it. So, change yourself to the way
of Allah to serve Him and that will make the difference.
